I tested the RX 9070 XT against the RTX 4080 Super, and it's closer than you think
Apr 4, 2025
It's no secret that AMD's recent RX 9070 XT is one of the best graphics cards you can buy with its highly competitive price and solid 4K performance. Still, I didn't expect it to fly so close to Nvidia's last-gen RTX 4080 Super. These two GPUs are in completely different performance classes, but despite that, they deliver similar specs and performance. And even with AMD taking a slight backseat overall, the RX 9070 XT is the GPU to buy.
I'll be covering both cards here point-for-point, but if you want to dive deeper into either of them, make sure to read our AMD RX 9070 XT review and Nvidia RTX 4080 Super review.
ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Steel Legend
The Radeon RX 9070 XT is one of AMD's first GPUs powered by RDNA 4, capable of smooth 4K gaming with powerful internals and more advanced upscaling and frame generation technologies. It's the graphics card to buy for 4K gaming.
Pros & Cons
Excellent 4K performance
Vastly improved ray tracing and upscaling
FSR 4 can more than double FPS
Still not quite as good as Nvidia for RT
FSR 4 support is somewhat limited
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super FE is a gorgeous high-end graphics card with one of the best cooling solutions I've ever used. It's worth considering for high-end PC builds for 4K gamers, even if it isn't necessarily the best value proposition.
